We were honoured to welcome Premier Mark McGowan on Sunday to our East Perth headquarters, where he announced a $48.95 million targeted homeless support package.
Joining the Premier was the Hon Minister for Communities, Simone McGurk MLA, Member for Perth John Carey MLA, and a number of St Bart’s residents, staff and Board members who enjoyed chatting with him over morning tea on a range of issues including the state of homelessness in WA, and future plans to support the services like ours that support those most vulnerable in our community.
Client Olly was delighted to present the Premier with one of her own paintings.
